DOBRY, LouisFrom Don's email of 05 Apr 2010... "I'm starting to go thru some old photos with the intent of scanning them. I found this one and it is a postcard with Louis Dobry (remember, he was killed by a German sniper at Paschendale in 1917) on the front and I'm assuming that it is his signature and on the back he is writing to his grandmother (also my grandmother). What is so interesting is he writes her totally in Czech including the date, even though he was born and raised in the USA and Canada. My cousin, Marie Monti, in California told me (the only time I met her) that the Ruzickas were raised very European. Well, My Aunt Bozena and Uncle Joe Dobry obviously raised their children in the Czech language."

I scanned this image back in 1997 when it was important to keep images small to make them quick to download on a dial up connection. I'm hoping I can locate it again in order to be able to scan a much larger copy.
